"Well, good morning Ace." Logan said from where he was standing behind the stove in the kitchen as Rory walked into the living room.
"Morning." Rory said yawning. She had showered an put on her clothes from the night before, kicking herself for taking her gym bag out of the car just a few days prior. Not that she went to the gym often, but it at least had a change of clothes in it.
Logan laughed and nodded towards the coffee pot on the counter behind him. "Already made coffee, and I ran down to the 7-11 and got stuff for breakfast. They didn't have a great selection, so I hope pancakes and sausage is okay."
Rory grinned searching the cabinets for a coffee cup, finally finding one. "Cause leftovers from last nights smorgosboard would of killed us." She said as she poured herself a cup of coffee, smelling the cup before taking a sip. "And you even made decaf. How sweet of you Huntzburger."
"Well, it's what you ordered yesterady so I figured that it was a safe bet." Logan said as he pulled the skillet off the burner and tipped the sausage onto a nearby plate. "Breakfast is ready" He said as he turned the oven off, put the skillet on a cool burner and grabbed the plates loaded with pancakes and sausage and carried them to the table. He pulled out Rory's chair for her and then took her own seat.
Rory piled her plate with pancakes and sausage before covering the whole plate in butter and syrup. "This smells delicious Logan, I forgot that you could cook." As she took a bite, she smiled. Sure it was a simple meal but it had been forever since someone had cooked for her other than her step father Just as she was going to compliment Logan on a a meal well made she heard the loud jingle of his iPhone ringing. Logan stood and in a few quick strides was across the room to pick up his phone that had been charging in the kitchen.
"Hello?" she heard him say as she continued eating. "This is him." Then a few seconds of silence. "Okay, I'll be right over." A few more words were exchanged before Logan hung up. Rory at him, waiting to see what he was abou to tell her. He frowned looking at her. "They want me to come over and talk to the doctor." He ran a hand through his hair and leaned against the counter.
"Okay, give me a minute. I'll get my shoes." Rory said grabbing a sausage link and standing up as she popped it in her mouth.
"Ace, no you don't need to come." Logan said pushing himself off the counter and making his way over to where she now stood.
"Logan, of course I'm going to come. I am here for you, you have to go to the hospital to check on your father who just had a heart attack. You're going to need someone non Huntzburger there. Might as well be me."
"I don't want you to have to deal with my father." he responded looking into her eyes. He was touched that she was there, and even more so that she was willing to accompany him to the hospital but in her situation he didn't want her to be put under stress and everyone knew being in the vincinity of Mitchum was stresfull.
"I'm pregnant, not a ticking time bomb. And I'll stay away from Mitchum. But you still need someone there for you. You aren't superman, you don't need to do this alone."
Logan walked over and wrapped his arms around her pulling her into a hug and resting his head on hers. "Thank you Ace."
After they broke the hug Rory smiled at him. "Let me grab my shoes and then we can go."
Rory wandreed off to the bedroom, grabbing her purse and slipping her feet into her shoes before reappearing in the living room. "Ready."She looked at the partially eaten breakfast they were about to abandon and then looked back at Logan. "Should we clean up?"
Logan thought for a second before shaking her head. "The staff will take care of that. We should proabbly go to the hospital and see what they want to talk to me about."
Rory nodded and followed Logan out of the suite and into the hallway. They continued to the elevators and into the lobby downstairs making small talk. As they were walking across the lobby Logan's phone rang again, as he looked at the caller ID he let out a audible groan.
"What? Who is it?" Rory asked looking at him as they exited the hotel lobby and made their way to the car. "My mother." He opened the passenger side for Rory before swiping the unlock on his phone and putting it towards his ear. "Hello." He stood on the curb looking at Rory as he answered his mom's questions. "No, I'm on the way there." a pause followed by "Are you coming or not?" Another several second long pause. "Goodbye." Logan hung up the phone and shook his head, "She's not coming. Said she needed to take care of herself in this trying time."
Rory scoffed. "Well Shira will be Shira in all situations." Logan nodded and then shook his head a second time and shrugged.
"I didn't really expect her to come. But let's get this over with and head over there." He gave a weak smile and shut the door before making his way over to the drivers side and getting in. As he buckled his seatbelt and started the car he looked over at Rory. "Thank you again for coming and doing all this for me."
Rory smiled sweetly. "Of course."
